Every stop is different and challenging for a new driver, and it's easy to get used to using shortcuts that will work against you as you are required to "spool up" to pace. Obviously you know the 340 Delivery & Pickup Methods, so see if my "mindset" works for you:
Stick to the methods, they will become second nature after about a year.
Park well.
Get to the packages and load a cartful at a time until the last load, and then make sure all the packages for that stop, along with DFu's, call tags, etc, are accounted for. Know your next stop before you leave with the last package.
As you have been loading in you have all the labels up. Scan cods and get the check going, keep scanning til ur done - interrupt at anytime a signer walks by, unless they want a final count (you know your accounts). Clarify & split, completing stop as you walk briskly back to the car.
In shorter words, break the stop down into specific tasks - you are a "time & motion" assembly line on wheels - brilliant!
Get the freight out
Scan it
get the sig,
walk back, drive to next stop.
Safely, deliberately, with a sense of prompt confidence and poise, over and over again, practice, practice...
When you no longer even notice how efficient you are, smooth and almost effortlessy (except for the WEIGHT!), you are getting your work done in peak form and it doesn't even look like you're breaking a sweat - I swear!
